President Joe Biden in an interview released over the weekend said sanctions don’t take effect immediately and alleged only one alternative exists in dealing with Russia after the country invaded Ukraine.

“You have two options. Start a third world war—go to war with Russia physically—or two, make sure that a country that acts so contrary to international law ends up paying a price for having done it,” Biden said, speaking with political commentator Brian Tyler Cohen before he traveled to Delaware.
